Over a month ago I ordered a Dean Edge 10a bass guitar from Musician’s Friend. It was back ordered until the end of that week, then it was back ordered till the next month. When that date came around I received ANOTHER back order notice! So I was appropriately irritated at the thought of having purchased a bass that would take months to get to me. Apparently it is a fairly popular bass to buy.

My friend, Andy, was heading up to Guitar Center to get some work done on his acoustic guitar so I figured I would tag along and see if they have my bass and cancel the order with Musician’s Friend if they did. Well they did not have any Dean basses at all. But they did have plenty of Ibanez basses. I like the Ibanez basses. I found the GSR200. It is a good quality bass with a wide range of sounds available to it. It also has an active pickup system, which is something I wanted. So I picked it up and now am canceling my, back ordered 3 times, Musician’s Friend bass.

I took a few pictures of it that you can find on my photo gallery
